Now that we have a nice big list of small tools (as opposed to full size drill presses and lathes etc. ) we should have a well made tool cabinet/chest to keep them all in a good place.
And since you are no doubt going to make a mess, a shop vacuum.
And of course we need a good variety of glues and epoxies to hold stuff together and a bunch C-clamps to hold the project until the glue dries.

I use mine a couple of times a year for tree trimming. For a small branch or two, faster than getting out the chain saw.
The big one is great for water filters.
Heh, they have many more applications. I keep a small one in the kitchen for bottles and jars. I frequently use one for repairs/adjustments to the sprinkler pipes. I've removed a stuck filter from a camera lens with a strap wrench. Removed escutcheons from the shower faucets. And that's just this afternoon... okay I'm kiddin' but I do use mine very frequently.

I used one just today to cut a few branches off a tree. Used it a few times altrady this year. You can whack off a 2x4 with one too vs getting the circular saw out for a piece ot two.
I find mine to be almost useless, for anything except dried out dead branches. It is sharp and well-waxed, but still binds up in green wood at less than blade depth. I don't have enough land to justify a real chain saw, but the toy electric one I bought for 15 bucks at a garage sale has come in very handy. McCullough, I think. Suppose I need to get a file and jig to touch it up, once it gets a few more hours on it.

Mike, a coping saw is for coping a joint, the power miter is NOT a substitute, it is an alternative way of making an inside corner joint. Most carpenters would agree that the coped joint is superior. There is a replacement coping shoe available for most commercial jig saws that can be a power replacement for the coping saw.
Hard to replace if you want to make classic quality inside corners when installing trim.
